One of the things that scare people away from building a website is the potential cost. A lot of people ask me what the average cost of a website is and it’s a difficult question to answer because there really is no average cost. The cost of a website depends on what kind of website you want, if you’re going to hire a web designer, and what kind of features you want. You can easily spend thousands of dollars having a website built. But there are some ways that you can have a website built for a $100 or less…if you know how to economize. Here are a few tips on how to save money on your website. 1. Do your research – The basic components of a website are your domain name, web hosting, and web design. If you are going to sell from your website, you’ll also need to look at a shopping cart, merchant account, and possibly a secure server. When you’re looking at these components, be sure to do your homework. A lot of people get stuck with an expensive servi...

What’s more, being able to create or work with a website is a useful skill in itself.

It has always puzzled me when sellers and their managers view the idea of sales metrics as a negative, or at the very least as a complete waste of time. I look at sales performance statistics as a positive rather than a negative. In every professional sports activity, performance is gauged by the player’s stats. In fact, every player and their coaches, use those metrics to establish performance improvement goals. In sports, the stats are recorded by the player’s position on the team. Did you know that in football there are 77 different statistics in offense, defense and special teams? And, salaries for those players are inevitably linked to their performance results. I suggest the same should be true for full-time salespeople, and for Doer Sellers and Seller Doers. In fact, the purpose of this article is to recommend a cultural change in how sellers are coached and how they are compensated based on their performance statistics. I will start with the roles that make up the sa...

Every marketing plan needs to include an industry analysis. Why? Because it is of critical importance to understand the industry you operate in, and to identify and track your performance to key business success factors (KSFs) for your organization. Understanding your industry and identifying your KSFs will help in building a successful marketing plan; one that is based on measurable progress and results. A key success factor is an element of a whole that affects your business’ ability to do well in your market. Most businesses focus on between three and five of the most important (to their business) success factors. From time to time, or year to year, these key success factors may change, as the industry or the market changes. 15 Examples of Key Business Success Factors (and this is not a comprehensive list) are: Number of new customers per year; Number of lost customers per year OR the number of customers retained (it is important to understand and measure the potential customer...
